Podcast appearances and mentions of Thomas Pynchon

This week, the boys cover “Fight Club”, the 1999 movie that is both an of-its-time dark satire and a should-have-been-released-in-2025 heat check. Before we dive into it, we need to get drinking! So we discuss the new Paul Thomas Anderson “Dr. Strangelove”-esque gripping satire (maybe?), “One Battle After Another”, the new Daniel Day-Lewis film “Anemone”, directed by his son, Ronan Day-Lewis, and John made it to the red carpet premier of Guillermo del Toro's latest fright film “Frankenstein”. We also discuss “Highest 2 Lowest” and “Swiped”. It's a busy show!

We inaugurate the late Japanese master Shinji Sōmai with a discussion of his beautiful, melancholy coming-of-age drama Moving. The film follows the young Ren as she navigates her parents' recent separation, balancing loyalties to both her mother and father, dealing with gossiping classmates, and making attempts to reconcile the marriage. With a characteristic sensitivity and perceptiveness for the experience of youth, Sōmai excavates a universe of detail from the film's simple premise, arriving at a profoundly moving and cathartic emotional climax. We begin by discussing Sōmai as director, his style, and what we think might have drawn him to stories about the occasionally painful experiences of youth. Then, we explore how the film elicits nuance within the childhood experience of familial separation, acknowledging both the grief intrinsic to such experiences and the role children play as emotional anchors for their parents. Finally, we examine Sōmai's considerations about modern Japanese life and how he rallies against conservative social positions on divorce through the film's delicate character work.

INSTANT REACTION: ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER (2025) Many critics are calling Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another (2025) a “blockbuster.” But is that really what it is? In this spoiler-free instant reaction, Jason digs into the hype and interrogates whether Anderson has truly delivered his first large-scale crowd-pleaser...or something more complicated. The $175 million action thriller, inspired by Thomas Pynchon's Vineland and released by Warner Bros. Pictures, stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, Benicio del Toro, Regina Hall, Teyana Taylor, and Chase Infiniti. It follows an ex-revolutionary forced to rescue his daughter from a corrupt military official, set against a backdrop of revolution, betrayal, and power.

Welcome to Director Watch! On this AwardsWatch podcast, co-hosts Ryan McQuade and Jay Ledbetter attempt to breakdown, analyze, and ultimately, get inside the mind of some of cinema's greatest auteurs. In doing so, they will look at their filmographies, explore what drives them artistically and what makes their decision making process so fascinating. Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. On episode 119 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys are joined by AwardsWatch Editor-In-Chief Erik Anderson and AwardsWatch Associate Editor Sophia Ciminello to discuss the latest film from director Paul Thomas Anderson, One Battle After Another (2025). On the podcast, Ryan and Jay love nothing more than sitting back and seeing a passion project from a major director be given the greenlight to be shown to the masses, and such is the case for One Battle After Another, the latest invention from PTA, who has spent nearly twenty years tinkering away at this story, making it perfect for the big screen. Loosely based off the novel Vineland by Thomas Pynchon, the film follows an ex-revolutionary who must find his daughter once a dangerous, evil enemy resurfaces after 16 years. What seems like a simple premise evolves into the grandest feature film PTA has made, combining social, political commentary with a wicked, sharp sense of humor, and centering it all around a father, mother, and daughter dynamic that heartwarming, sincere, and emotionally profound. By doing this, Anderson has made a successful odyssey that is the culmination of his career so far while pushing the director do things he's never done before and also things audiences have never seen on the big screen. It's the movie of our time and there was no way the boys weren't going to talk about it. Ryan, Jay, Erik, and Sophia breakdown their thoughts on the film, the various formats they've seen the film in, PTA's sentimental heart clashing with his audacious direction, how timely the film feels, how every performance is pitch-perfect, thoughts on the Christmas Adventurers club, and so much more including a new wrinkle in Jay's Oscar game where we put his expertise to the test and make him predict how many Oscars this film will be nominated for. It's a fun, long, wild ride full of SPOILERS, so if you haven't seen the film, you've been warned. You can listen to the Director Watch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music, YouTube and more. This podcast runs 3h09m. The guys will be back later this week to continue their series on the films of Yasujirō Ozu with a review of his next film, Floating Weeds. You can rent it via iTunes and Amazon Prime rental in preparation for the next episode of Director Watch. Till then, let's get into it.

Filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson once again proves to be one of the world's top filmmakers with his thinking man's action thriller, "One Battle After Another." Inspired by Thomas Pynchon's novel "Vineland," Leonardo DiCaprio and Sean Penn star in a spellbinding, entertaining and profane tale involving wannabe revolutionaries, racism, military corruption, secret political cabals...and much more. Smart and masterfully made, "One Battle After Another” easily one of the year's best movies. Parents with preschool girls know that "Gabby's Dollhouse" is the partly live-action, partly animated Netflix series about a girl who shrinks herself to doll size for adventures with her tiny doll pals. The theatrical version "Gabby's Dollhouse: The Movie" works surprisingly well thanks to imaginative art direction and a funny performance by Kristen Wiig as a cat-obsessed villainess. While squarely aimed at the tots, it's pleasantly painless for parents. The dark action thriller "Dead of Winter" stars Emma Thompson as a woman ice fishing in remote Minnesota who stumbles upon a ramshackle cabin where a strange couple have kidnapped a young woman. It's so well acted that one can almost forgive how unrelentingly grim it is. “Dead of Winter” is suspenseful but mostly unpleasant and implausible. With her directorial debut, Scarlett Johansson shows she's been paying attention. Ninety-five-year-old June Squibb stars in the touching story of a woman who pretends to be a Holocaust survivor, befriending a teenager enamored with her and her bogus story. Squibb and young Erin Kellyman are excellent in “Eleanor the Great,” a sweet-natured comic drama about the results of questionable choices.

Per completare la nostra monografia chiacchierata di Paul Thomas Anderson mancava solamente il lisergico Inherent Vice, uno dei film preferiti di Simone che si presta molto bene a essere accoppiato a The Long Goodbye di Robert Altman. Entrambi Detective Story sui generis, la combinazione permette anche di evidenziare cambiamenti nell'autorialità hollywoodiana, i collegamenti fra i due registi e ci permette di esaminare un altro legame estremamente importante nella seconda parte della filmografia di PTA, quello con lo scrittore americano Thomas Pynchon, dal cui libro Inherent Vice è tratto il film e che ha ispirato con il suo Vineland l'ultima opera del regista, One Battle After Another. Con Federico Allocca e Simone CortiRiprese Gianlorenzo Bernabò Di NegroMusica e sound design DEMONA alias Andrea Evangelista e Delio GallmannAnimazione sigla Ida CortiLogo design Chiara QuagliarellaPost-produzione audio Matteo FusiCon il sostegno di Associazione La Terza Via e SidereusUn grazie a Raffaele Allocca, Elisabetta Marrocco, Riccardo Romano, Andrea Sestu

RIGHT OUT OF THEATER REVIEW!! One Battle After Another Movie Review - Paul Thomas Anderson returns with his biggest, boldest film yet — a mix of action, satire, thriller, and dark comedy inspired by Thomas Pynchon's Vineland. Leonardo DiCaprio (Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, Django Unchained, Inception) stars as Bob Ferguson, a former revolutionary forced to reunite with his old comrades when his daughter is kidnapped. Sean Penn (Mystic River, Milk, Dead Man Walking) plays Colonel Lockjaw, the menacing antagonist who resurfaces after 16 years. Benicio del Toro (Sicario, Traffic, Guardians of the Galaxy) is Sensei Sergio, Bob's unpredictable ally, while Regina Hall (Girls Trip, Scary Movie, The Best Man) and Teyana Taylor (Coming 2 America, A Thousand and One, White Men Can't Jump) round out the revolutionary crew. Rising star Chase Infiniti takes on Willa Ferguson, the daughter whose disappearance sparks the story. The supporting cast includes Alana Haim (Licorice Pizza, Women Talking, Haim music fame), Wood Harris (Remember the Titans, Creed, The Wire), Tony Goldwyn (Ghost, Scandal, Tarzan), and more. With a score by Jonny Greenwood (There Will Be Blood, Phantom Thread, The Power of the Dog) and Warner Bros. releasing it in IMAX, VistaVision, and 70mm, this is an epic cinematic experience critics are already calling “cinema at its purest.” Themes include generational conflict, extremism, father-daughter bonds, and the messy fallout of idealism. Packed with big action sequences, wild tonal shifts, and emotional performances, this might be Anderson's most personal film yet.

Analizamos en profundidad la película con Leonardo DiCaprio y Sean Penn, su relación con la novela VINELAND, de Thomas Pynchon, y por qué los grandes autores de hoy (de Quentin Tarantino a Martin Scorsese, pasando por Kelly Reichardt y el propio Paul Thomas Anderson) se vinculan con el cine de la década de 1970, la última época de oro de Hollywood.Este podcast cuenta con el acompañamiento de Fundación Santander Argentina a través del Régimen de Promoción Cultural (Mecenazgo) del Ministerio de Cultura de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires.

Thomas Pynchon es un escritor invisible: lejos de la vida pública, eligió hablar solo a través de sus libros. Un autor del que casi no existen fotos y cuya obra ha intrigado tanto como su vida. Tras algunos documentales, llegó en 2014 la primera adaptación oficial: “Inherent Vice”, dirigida por Paul Thomas Anderson. Ahora, el cineasta vuelve con una nueva apuesta: Una batalla tras otra, basada en la novela “Vineland”.

È la storia di come una coppia di ventenni, Bet e Teo, sia finita su quella stessa pista in cerca di un colpo per rilanciare il proprio blog, ed è la storia del tentativo di un giornalista di gossip di fare lo scoop della vita. Attorno alle loro complicate ricerche si muove un coro surreale di personaggi grotteschi e figure pericolose e ridicole: chirurghi che si arricchiscono commerciando sex toy modellati sull'anatomia delle pornostar morte, avvocati luciferini che tengono i tirocinanti al guinzaglio, analisti forensi che tentano di sfondare come youtuber, ex attori di programmi per bambini caduti in disgrazia, psichiatri che si travestono da avocado durante le sedute per mettere a loro agio i pazienti, influencer verbose strafatte di cocaina, untuosi manager di attrici hard. Il tutto accompagnato e condito da droghe sintetiche e contratti di sottomissione, mani mozzate e crostate al limone, conigli domestici e programmi trash, magazzini Ikea e set pornografici. Con Pornorama Claudia Grande scrive un romanzo ambizioso, in cui convivono le atmosfere di Thomas Pynchon e Chuck Palahniuk e il true crime, l'innocenza più insospettabile e la brutalità più efferata, le nevrosi private e i grandi rimossi sociali: una fotografia a luci rosse del nostro contemporaneo, così ossessionato dalla morte da travestirla con il sesso e così deformato dal denaro da non saperne riconoscere più la violenzaClaudia Grande (Chieti, 1990) lavora in Rai Pubblicità come copywriter e content creator.

This week we're excited to present an archival conversation from the 52nd New York Film Festival in 2014 with Inherent Vice director Paul Thomas Anderson and his very large and talented cast. For one week only from July 4-10, join Film at Lincoln Center in revisiting this great American film on 70mm film, ahead of the director's highly anticipated new feature One Battle After Honor. Get tickets at filmlinc.org/vice This conversation was moderated by Kent Jones, former Director of the New York Film Festival. Paul Thomas Anderson's wild and entrancing Thomas Pynchon adaptation is a cinematic time machine, placing the viewer deep within the world of the paranoid, hazy L.A. dope culture of the early '70s. It's not just the look (which is ineffably right, from the mutton chops and the peasant dresses to the battered screen doors and the neon glow), it's the feel, the rhythm of hanging out, of talking yourself into a state of shivering ecstasy or fear or something in between. Joaquin Phoenix goes all in as Doc Sportello, the private investigator searching for his ex-girlfriend Shasta (Katherine Waterston), menaced at every turn by the telegenic police detective “Bigfoot” Bjornsen (Josh Brolin). Among the other members of Anderson's mind-boggling cast are Reese Witherspoon, Benicio Del Toro, Martin Short, Owen Wilson, and Jena Malone.

A group of strangers meet at an abandoned theme park, haunted by nightmares plaguing them. The source of their nightmares is somewhere in the park and only they can stop it. But can they survive facing the unnatural evil cursing them? This is a playtest of my new action horror RPG, Labyrinth Signal. The beta PDF, which includes this adventure and everything you need to play, is now available on the RPPR Patreon.  If you are a podcaster, blogger, or RPG influencer going to Gencon this year and would like me to demo Labyrinth Signal for you, email me at rpprpodcast AT gmail dot com to set it up.

So who killed JFK? We still don't know, but we're concluding our series on DeLillo's conspiratorial history with Episode 27: Libra (3). This episode begins by focusing on the unexpected injection of humor and depth that comes with Jack Ruby, another reluctant shooter, in the novel's second part. We draw into this episode some comparisons of Libra to other artists' paranoid visions of conspiracy, including Oliver Stone, Norman Mailer, and Thomas Pynchon. We spend ample time on the newspaper-clipping and TV-watching of CIA wife Beryl Parmenter, one of several figures here who make Libra a canny narrative of media and information history. And we close with detailed debate and speculation about why DeLillo's concluding “Author's Note” – with its powerful notion that “readers may find refuge here” – has changed over the years. Like Nicholas Branch, we're overwhelmed by all that still could be said about Libra (and we may still say it in a future episode!), but we conclude our three-part analysis here. References and corrections for this episode: “Don DeLillo: The Word, the Image, and the Gun.” BBC Documentary, September 27, 1991. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DTePKA1wgc Sigmund Freud, “Mourning and Melancholia.” chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://www.sas.upenn.edu/~cavitch/pdf-library/Freud_MourningAndMelancholia.pdf JFK (dir.

Ian and Matthew finally discuss one of Matthew's favorite novels. Conspiracies, secret histories, and an important question: Was the anti-D&D panic of the 1980s kinda sorta right in a weird way?

Writer Ben H. Winters has a new comics limited series coming out, BENJAMIN, which is a prestige format 3-issue series that melds Philip K. Dick with Thomas Pynchon in a story that bends and breaks perception, time and reality itself.

Devin O'Shea guides us into the world of acclaimed novelist Thomas Pynchon, whose cryptic, sprawling narratives echo the chaotic info deluge of contemporary digital culture. With Paul Thomas Anderson's newest Pynchon adaptation, One Battle After Another, hitting theaters in September 2025, and Pynchon himself releasing a fresh novel, Shadow Ticket, in October, it's time to unpack what makes Pynchon uniquely relevant today. From the hippie noir mystery of Inherent Vice to the critically-panned Vineland, we explore why this reclusive author has captivated (and frequently frustrated) readers for decades. Along the way, we discuss the complex relationship his work has with history, conspiracy, technology, and power.

John and Elizabeth had the chance to talk with Ieva Jusionyte, anthropologist, journalist, emergency medical technician. Her award-winning books include Exit Wounds, which uses anthropological and journalistic methods to follow guns purchased in the United States through organized crime scenes in Mexico, and their legal, social and personal repercussions. Ieva described researching the topic, balancing structural understandings of how guns become entangled with people on both sides of the border with an emphasis on individual stories. The three also talked about how language captures and fails to capture violence, the ways violence and the fear of violence organize space, and the importance of a humble, responsive, and empathetic approach to speaking with people touched by gun violence.

A conversation with Dr. Jo Freer, a leading scholar on the work of American novelist Thomas Pynchon. I'm currently leading our Library's Classics Book Discussion Seminar series on Pynchon's 1973 masterpiece Gravity's Rainbow and Dr. Freer's work has been incredibly helpful for me in understanding this challenging novel and Pynchon's work as a whole. We're thrilled to get Dr. Freer's perspective on this important writer.  Dr. Jo Freer is Senior Lecturer in American and Postcolonial Literature in the Department of English and Creative Writing at the University of Exeter. She is the author of Thomas Pynchon and American Counterculture (Cambridge University Press, 2014), which considers Thomas Pynchon as a political philosopher. While Gravity's Rainbow centers around the saga of American Lt. Tyrone Slothrop, stationed in England at the end of WWII, Freer shows how the novel often responds directly to debates within the 1960s counterculture; the different approaches of the New Left, Yippies, The Black Panther Party, the Women's Movement, and the proto-countercultural Beat writers who influenced Pynchon are all game for comparison, revealing Pynchon to be a subtle and profound political thinker. Dr. Freer is also editor of the excellent essay collections The New Pynchon Studies (Cambridge UP, 2019) and co-editor of Thomas Pynchon, Sex and Gender, (Georgia UP, 2018). Our conversation also considers the various ways Pynchon's depictions of gender and sexuality have been interpreted by Freer and others. Famously, the judges of the Pulitzer Prize selected Gravity's Rainbow, but the Pulitzer Advisory Board said the book was “unreadable,” “turgid,” and “obscene” and chose to not award a prize that year. This is a fascinating conversation about form and content and the value of this difficult, challenging, anti-authoritarian reading experience for us today. Like the graffiti that appears in Gravity's Rainbow, Dr. Freer tells us that Pynchon creates texts that are “revealed in order to be thought about, expanded on, translated into action by the people.”  You can check out books by Dr. Freer, and work by all of our previous podcast guests, here at the library in our Podcast Collection. You can also find Dr. Freer on her University of Exeter page.  We hope you enjoy our 66th interview episode! Each month (or so) we release an episode featuring a conversation with an author, artist, or other notable guests from Chicagoland or around the world.
